Liverpool are closing in on the signing of midfielder Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich for £20m, plus £5m in adds-on, on a four-year contract.
Thiago, 29, joined the German giants from Barcelona in 2013 and played in last season's Champions League final victory over Paris St-Germain.
The Spain international is set to wear the number six shirt at Anfield.
Thiago would be the Premier League champions' second summer signing, after Greece left-back Kostas Tsimikas.
When asked about a potential move for Thiago last week, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "I cannot end speculation as long as the transfer window is open.
